ok so now the issue is gone after i reinstalled but now there is a new issue that has sprung up. When I attempt to try skyrim through the nexus mod manager (because the game has gotten boring otherwise without mods) the game instantly crashes right after it says bethesda. Ive read a couple posts on vorpx that say that someone got skyrim to work wonderfully with around 60 mods. im not looking for that many mods but if anyone can throw some ideas my way i would really love it. Otherwise for right now im gonna keep messing around with it to see if something changes for the better.

This clearly sounds like an input (gamepad) issue of some kind. Please disable the gamepad in the Skyrim options. Also reset the Skyrim profile in the vorpX config app, or reinstall vorpX.

If that does not help, please also try a fresh Skyrim install without any mods. Maybe there is an issue with a mod you might have active.

I was getting ready to try some skyrim again when i noticed after i got onto my character that the view keeps changing constantly! Ill just sit straight and not even turn my head or anything when the camera switches non stop, from third person to first to the edge of the screen to underneath my character to above my character. Ive tried multiple things, unplugging my gamepad, uninstalling nexus mod manager, changing vorpx view options before entering, pressing shift and enter like crazy. I cant think of anything else and unless someone can help me ill never get to try skyrim and thusly will just uninstall the game from absolute anger. Please help with this issue because i cant take it much more.

Hi Seelenmord,

Thanks for the comprehensive guide! Much appreciated. One addition: You can make your life a little bit easier by using the DK2 as secondary display in Windows. This involves two steps:

1. Set the DK2 as secondary display in the Windows monitor configuration.
2. Set vorpX to “Show only on Rift DK2” instead of “Use system settings” in the vorpX config app.

You should also set Skyrim to 1920×1080. Not sure whether you did that, didn’t see it in your post.

So first off let me start by saying, when I got the rift a week ago, I didn’t know ANYTHING about resolutions and monitors, or what most of the settings meant. I got some games working by google and “What does this button do? Oops” I still don’t know very much and have ALOT to learn. After being frustrated and buying this program or downloading and injecting that mod, and almost regretting buying the Rift because I didn’t know what I was doing, I finally found a setup that works for me.

I decided that maybe I could help some poor soul out there that’s in my same shoes, kind of get going with Skyrim. So I decided to post this “in no way official, but hopefully at a little helpful to someone guide” This worked for me, but may not work for you. I am literally just listing what I did, and my results. That being said Follow AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I guess it should be noted that I have NVidia (couldn’t tell you the model or if the settings are the same as your Nvidia) and the settings below are for that graphics card. I’m using Windows 8.1. I have 2 DVI ports on my computer and have the Rift plugged into my left port (if I’m facing the back of the computer) and my Computer monitor plugged into the right one. Also I am not using any visual mods for Skyrim (that I am aware of) Only Skyrim (with all the DLC), Oculus software, and VorpX.

First open Skyrim without Oculus attached, load a saved game.

This is important: Change Fov (Field of View) by doing the following:
-While in loaded game hit the ~ on keyboard. This will open a command screen (I guess that’s what it’s called)
– Type the following (without the quotes) “fov 120” and then hit enter
– Hit the ~ again to close the command thingy
– Save a new file

The screen will look stretchy without the rift on. You want this because things will be too close while in the Rift if this is left to the games default FOV. This can easily be change back for play without the Rift by following the steps above and changing the FOV back to 65 (the original FOV).

— I freaked when I first did this because VorpX did it for me. I didn’t know the term “FOV” and I didn’t understand why Skyrim looked stretched when I didn’t have the Rift on. I deleted and re-installed my Skyrim like 3 times, thinking that I broke something, before I researched and figured this out. Whatever, I learned something new.

Quit Skyrim

Now, Make sure Oculus is connected, on, and the Oculus Utility and appropriate are drivers installed (not trying to be a smart ass. I’m stating this with the assumption that you’re a complete newbie like me)

In Oculus Vr Utility, set Display mode to “Extended”
-Tools -> Display Mode -> “Extended Desktop to the HMD”
Minimize Oculus Utility

Then on Desktop, Left Click On Desktop to Open the following Applications:

*NVidia Control Panel: (Make sure to hit apply and yes after changing each setting) Also make sure that you are changing the following settings for the Rift (not the computer monitor)
-Resolution set to 948×1080 (Display->Change Resolution)
-Rift should be to the Left (Display->Set up Multiple Displays)
Then Drag Rift to left of Computer monitor
-Make Sure Rift is in Portrait Mode (Display-> Rotate Display)
AND

* Screen Resolution: (also found by Right Clicking Desktop)
-Resolution set to 948×1080
-Rift should be to the Left
-Rift should be in Portrait Mode
– It’s weird, I’ve seen NVidia tell me Rift is in portrait, while Screen Resolution gives me a different orientation. Maybe I’m just crazy but make sure the settings in both Display Applications match)

Side Note: I find that setting Rift to 948×1080 while it’s in portrait mode allows me to see most of what’s on desktop screen. I don’t understand this because I thought Rift’s native res is 1920×1080 but whatever, it worked. (Maybe someone can explain because again, this is completely foreign to me)

Launch VorpX
I have the following settings checked for Skyrim: See “VorpXSkyrimConfig” picture in link below
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22546240/VorpXSkyrimConfig.jpg

-Disconnect Xbox Controller (this will be reconnected after initially setup)
-Make launching the game easier by creating a Skyrim shortcut on desktop and putting it in the center

After Verifying settings in VorpX, and that both Display Applications settings match, go back to NVidia Control panel and do the following

-Make rift primary display
-Uncheck Computer monitor from the list of checked devices (this should turn off computer monitor forcing VorpX aided game to open in rift)

Your computer monitor should turn off and your Rift should be the monitor. Make sure to click yes to Keep Changes as the settings will revert if this is not done in a timely manner. Hopefully the desktop doesn’t look flipped or weird in the rift. I struggled with this for a while and finally got this sorted out with above settings. Again this may be different for you.

Next Launch Skyrim
-On the load screen click Ok with mouse for the health warning and then hit shift+space bar (I found that I have to hit the 2 buttons together and rapidly a few times to get the box to go away. You’ll see what I mean) This may also load your last save, (you probably won’t be able to see the options to the right)

-Once game has loaded, hit the ‘Del button’. This will pull up VorpX settings. At the top there is an arrow that lets you switch pages of the VorpX settings. I have tweaked VorpX settings on these pages and have left the other pages alone.

-Click “VorpX In Game Settings 1 and 2” pictures in link below to see settings I used.

-Make sure to click “Ok and Save” in VorpX settings menu once finished

-After filling in settings, Hit “Del” to exit out of VorpX settings

If you hit the middle wheel of the mouse, it will show you more of the screen (menus and such), click it again to zoom back in.

-Save game and Exit to desktop.

-Now plug in Xbox Controller (or not), re-launch game, and it should work. The graphics are not the best but they’re not terrible (in my opinion)

Sometimes I find that I have to exit and re-launch game if head-tracking stops working.

Sorry if this post is unprofessional, if I’ve made some grammatical errors, or if I’m hard to follow. This is my first time doing this and was a completely impulsive post. But I hope this helps someone….

I fixed the skyrim problem running VorpX as administrator *_*
On the Star Citizen side, I have to make rift my primary and render to primary. It does away with all my icons and desktop. It’s a mess. I guess I’ll have to wait for native implementation.

[Mechcondrid]

it might be because that the skse launcher is launching the skyrim exe instead of the skyrim launcher i dont know what program vorpx looks for as a game launch pointer, if its the launcher then that would make sense (an easy-ish way to figure that out would be launch the launcher and then run the skse launcher) if it is not looking for the launcher first then i could only assume that vorpx is looking at the program signature when it tries to hook into skyrim if thats the case then skse launching skyrim could feasibly change the signature because of how skse works.
i have skyrim and skse installed so i’ll take a look at screwing around with it
and see if i can tell what method it uses

[jhondidfool]

I’d like to use VorpX for Skyrim (one of the two games I bought it for; the other being StarCitizen and having tried it’s a complete mess to get it working, if someone could make it so it launches into the Rift, better).
At first it didn’t work, but turns out I had SweetFX in the folder. So I deleted those and it worked. It even worked with ENB.
But out of the blue, now it just won’t hook VorpX if I launch skyrim through SKSE_Launcher.exe. Honestly, I need SKSE, it’s not worth it without it, so ÇI’m asking for help. I’ve cleaned the ENB completely from the folder, only being there the files that came with the game (+mods on Data folder) and SKSE.
So… Halp?

Skyrim (and other Bethesda games) disable the mouse when you enable the gamepad, which also disables vorpX’s head tracking.

Not a real problem though, vorpX has it’s own gamepad emulation. Simply disable the gamepad in the Skyrim options menu and vorpX’s gamepad handling kicks in. You can configure button mappings etc. in the vorpX ingame menu.

[IgorAntunov]

Same problem here. Also the web installer for vorp always downloads and installs the obsolete 0.4.1 oculus runtime. So after installing vorp I’m forced to uninstall the obsolete drivers and install the latest ones, or I get a hardlock and system restart the second I turn on the dk2.

After installing vorp, uninstalling the old runtime, reinstalling the latest runtime, I get the fatal error when trying to launch vorp config but Skyrim starts up…on the wrong screen-always.

If I disable or disconnect my main monitor and simply launch the game with just the rift connected as main display, I get half a screen. I also tried VR game launcher with skyrim set to rift as main display, same thing, half a screen on the rift. If I set the rift to direct hdm access and launch I simply get an error message and vorp crashes.

Well, $50 well spent I suppose.

After much effort Skyrim was working with my gtx680.
I just upgrade my rig to an gtx980 and judder don´t let me play.
Nothing change, only the videocard.
The driver it´s the same.
Anybody knows this issue?

[Nosphentor]

Hi guys,

I have an issue with Skyrim on my DK2. Everything works fine until I enable my Xbox 360 controller. Once I turn it on, I lose head tracking. Turn it off, and head tracking works again. Using SDK .43 and an original MS wireless receiver to run my 360 controller. All other games work fine in Vorpx with my 360 controller. Tried the handle gamepads internally in VorpX menu but that didn’t work. Any thoughts?

Cheers, Nos.
P.S. Alien Isolation is the best!!!

[deezdrama]

Ive had my dk2 about 2 weeks now, ive had vorpx a few days and been noticing positional tracking going out but usually a restart fixes this.
Today I installed skyrim and after playing noticed pos tracking was off again.

A restart didnt fix it , I tried restarting oculus service and changing usb ports.
Now when plugging in the camera i get unknown device and usb driver failed.
I dont have any usb 3.0 ports so that isnt it.

Im not sure if running vorpx with skyrim caused this or if its a hardware issue.

Any ideas?

[th3mute]

Open the VorpX settings ingame (DEL) and adjust the IPD.
I had to lower mine by about 5.0/6.0 roughly, but that’s dependant on the person.
It’s generally lower in VorpX/Skyrim than in the Oculus settings.

[Padawani]

So what can i say….i finaly did it!

It was as simpel as it could be.

On my pc i usualy play as normal user with entering admin pw to execute admin stuff. That was the problem. Even with executing eiter vorpx or skyrim as admin didnt do the trick.
Then i completely logged off as normal user and logged in as admin and “tada”
Now it works.

For anyone eslse having problems with vorpx….. “log in as admin”

Have fun…

P.S. @ Ralph: u should also mention “that” u have to log in as admin in ur “how to vorpx” section :)
